My microwave gave its all on Thanksgiving, bidding adieu to the world. My mug of tepid coffee misses it dearly, but I was not about to venture to the store during the madness of post Thanksgiving shopping.

Back in Dec. 1975, I remember getting in this little car and loving it. A man walked up and asked me if he could take a picture of me for the paper. We were down at PayLess Drug Store in Lewiston. Alas, I never got that little car for Christmas.

The private company that runs Idaho Medicaid’s mental health benefits is planning to cut critical services for people with severe mental illness.

And now Middleton is going to take advantage of legislation that was meant to provide state funding to rural areas of Idaho that don't have the tax base to build school facilities, rather than communities that have money but don't want to pay anything, like Middleton.

Instead, it’s the pain of a 40 day shutdown without anything substantial to show for it, which just pisses everyone off.

You are going to Cave on the shutdown for Nothing in return. Rep. concessions are meaningless.
-by law, fed employees must be paid, so that's not a win.
-ACA subsidies vote in Dec will amount to Nothing.
